Nigeria ready to collaborate with global partners on energy – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has restated Nigeria’s readiness to collaborate with African nations, global partners and the private sector to deliver cleaner, affordable, inclusive, and more secure energy.
Tinubu represented by the Vice-President Kashim Shettima, gave the assurance on Tuesday at the Ninth Edition of the Nigeria International Energy Summit, held at the State House Conference Hall, Abuja.
He said energy played a critical role as the invisible force holding the modern world together, as well as the quiet architecture of balance among nations, the unseen hand that steadies economies and sustains societies.
The president observed that energy remained central to peace, prosperity, and global stability.
He stated that Nigeria was focusing heavily on utilizing its vast gas reserves as a transition fuel and expanding renewable energy capacity.
“Energy must unite communities, stabilize economies, and secure futures. It must power factories, illuminate homes, fuel innovation, and build trust between government, investors, and citizens.
Nigeria stands ready to collaborate with Africa, global partners, and the private sector to deliver energy that is secure, affordable, cleaner, and inclusive,” he declared.
Tinubu recalled that even though his administration inherited an energy sector that was rich in potential in 2023, the sector was “constrained by inefficiencies, uncertainty, and prolonged underinvestment.
” We set to work without fanfare, guided by the clear understanding that energy cannot be treated simply as an economic commodity if stability is our goal.
” Energy is a catalyst for national security, industrial growth, social inclusion, and regional cooperation,” he stated.
